It works perfectly well in guild wars 2 and is super responsive aswell. Think EvE has that system too. If you want a less abuseable game economy you have to try to mimic the real one.

Isn't that exactly how it is atm, I have to check the history tab of the item to see the last 30 buyers and see if the current price is acceptable.
If you have buy and sell orders you simply see the supply/demand, if you know 10000 people are willing to buy it at price 10$ then the price of 11$ is totally acceptable. It is very simple.
